Make your outdoor portraits better!

The summer we’ll all take hundreds of images of our kids, family and friends. Many of them will be when the sun is in the wrong place…but for reasons we can’t control…we aren’t able to move the subject or the sun!

Did you know that you can make a simple adjustment on your camera to make your images 50% better? No it’s not complex or requiring you to think. Just turn your flash on. Yes that simple control where the flash is always on. (See below for the icon).

By turning on your flash (as we call “fill” flash”) your camera will automatically adjust for the amount of light. What you will achieve is that the flash will light and enhance/compensate in the following areas.

• The subjects eye area will lighten up
• Any area shadowed by hair will be bright
• You will reduce the number of “double chins"
• You will see an overall improvement of the image.

This simple technique can also help make a horrible backlit image (from the sun) turn out great. If you are interested in learning more about making your photo better, try out one of our great classes by calling 314-993-2681.
